The given series pattern follows

17       9       10       18.5       35       90

× 0.5 + 0.5,   × 1 + 1,   × 1.5 + 1.5,   × 2 + 2,   × 2.5 + 2.5

So here 

17x0.5 + 0.5 = 9

9x1 + 1 = 10

10x1.5 + 1.5 = 16.5

16.5x2 + 2 = 35

35x2.5 + 2.5 = 90

Here the odd man in the given series is 18.5

Here in the given series, it follows a pattern that

77 + 2 = 79

79  - 3 = 76

76 + 5 = 81

81 -  7 = 74

74 + 11 = 85

Consecutive adding and subtracting of prime numbers.

So the wrong number in the given series is 75.

In hydrocarbon, the boiling point directly varies with the length of carbon chain. On increasing the number of carbon atom, the boiling point of the compound also increases. Paraffin contains highest number of carbon atoms whereas, ethane is comprised of two carbon atoms.

The decreasing order of boiling point of mention compounds is written as follows:

Paraffin > Octadecane > Hexane > Neohexane > Ethane

Given fraction is 5 (2/7) - 3 (1/14) - 2 (1/14) - 1 (1/7) = ? + 3 (1/17) 

It can be written as 

(5 - 3 - 2 - 1) + (2/7 - 1/14 - 1/14 - 1/7) = ? +  3 (1/17) 

-1 + 0 - 3 (1/17) = ?

=> ? = -4 (1/17)

As the sentence talks about the past it is apt to say. 'Had you been more careful ...'.

We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.

Cup is used to drink something with the help of lips. Similarly, birds collect grass with the help of beak to make her nest.

Hence, Cup : Lip :: Bird : Grass.
